Internet anonymity in general is a terrible thing and I would do away with it if I could. I’m impossible to say who’s a real person, who’s a bot, who’s an alternate account. It’s allowed every evil and terrible person to find others like them and embolden each other without the oversight of social pressure from the rest of society which I think is an essentially needed social cue of healthy human communities.
L take. There’s no shortage of people on FB posting under their real names some takes that are no better than those of the average /pol/ user. Anonymity is not the problem here.

Yes I realize the irony of posting this on Lemmy.

OK, legal name, Id

Fuuuuck that. The option of anonymity is essential to freedom of expression especially where authoritarianism takes root. Especially important now.
I agree with you but it does cut both ways. Anonymity empowers assholes, too.
Okay cattywampas, if that even is your real name.
But you can do away with it if you want.
What is your real name address and place of employment and/or school?
